"Rowing machines are large and pricey and most of them aren’t going to look great in your living room. The new Ergatta Lite is the perfect antidote to this quandary.”

Seeing results!

I love how I look forward to my workouts. It’s fun and brings physical results. I’m losing weight and getting stronger.

Motivating

The app content motivates me to workout more often and with better quality.

Love it

I love this machine. I actually look forward to workouts now. The interface is nice and I love the diverse programs and ease of use. Quality build and sturdy. I got the Lite and was a little worried about sturdiness but it’s solid.

Ergatta makes rowing fun again

I've had my water rower for about 4 years and used it regularly with YouTube rowing videos, or sometimes I would make up my own workout. While it was good cardio, it wasn't really fun. I bought the Ergatta kit and upgraded my water rower and my rowing workouts have drastically changed for the better. I'm burning SO many more calories with each workout than I used to, and the workout is so enjoyable and engaging that I forget I'm doing a workout (seriously, it's incredibly engaging). I lose track of time because I'm so focused on hitting my goals and "playing the game". I also end up pushing myself far harder than I ever did rowing without Ergatta. Like others here have said, I wish I had done it sooner!

The ergatta is engaging, beautiful, and fun. I’d been evaluating a few different home work out options that included gamified workouts to try to find something that fit our family’s general approach towards our exercise: it should be a rewarding activity in and of itself. The ergatta does this. The programs are fun and engaging, the competition aspect motivates to push and challenge ourselves a bit more, and the scenic rows are relaxing. My teenagers also enjoy it, and I like that we can race against each others best times.
The structured push programs are amazing- I love the variety within them, and how easy it is to find something to fit the window of time and/or energy I have available.
I am incredibly happy with my purchase and would be remiss if I didn’t mention how it’s even more stunning in real life. I highly recommend the Ergatta to anyone looking for a connected/gamified home workout experience.

Great workout

It is elegant, fun and gives a great workout. The support is responsive and friendly. I wish I had done this years ago.

Unbeatable!

I love it. I like the competition and the sound of the water when rowing make it an unbeatable combination. Plus the look of the machine just makes it all that much better.

New to rowing

I’ve never rowed before. I have found the workouts fun to do, as well as addicting.

Absolutely love!

I absolutely love my Ergatta! It is engaging, fun, and challenging.

Outstanding

Style meets functionality. It looks as beautiful as it rows. Outstanding

OBSESSED

I’ve only had my Ergatta for 1 month and I’m obsessed. Having never rowed before I started with the starter series push program and have worked my way to rowing 10k a day using a combination of push programs and open rows. This rower is perfect for my competitive nature. I’m already at 240k meters and pushing to hit 1 million meters this year. I’m thankful for a fun workout everyday that keeps me coming back for more.

Freakin Awesome!

Loved my WaterRower... then SHE got me the Ergatta. WOW, Just WOW. Now I wake up early and run to my gym (spare bedroom) to get on this thing. It's so much fun, I put a cot right beside it so I can sleep closer to it. That way I don't have far to go in the morning. Don't think, just get one cause you don't know what you don't know and if you don't know how much fun you're not having, then you need to find out.

Engaging Competition

As a gamer, I'm competitive. Especially against myself. It keep me engaged and coming back for more

Achieving goals

It’s a gamified workout with someone yelling at me or just watching a distance or clock tick away. Mini goals and focusing the mind to achieve goals is perfect combination

GAMES > INSTRUCTORS

The workouts are very motivating and much more engaging than instructor-led

Working out more with Ergatta!

Ergatta has me working out 6 days a week versus my previous rate of 2 days per week

Effective workouts

This approach to workouts is really effective for me. I can either hit certain times or distances or I can "compete" against other users. It's a very motivating approach to working out.

Motivating

I really like the structure of the workouts, which is both motivating and fosters progression.

Consistently working out!

It’s kept me working out more consistently than ever before

Low impact great workout!

My Ergatta has helped me keep regular fitness routines very easily at home. The competitive workouts really appeal to me! I also really appreciate the low impact on my body overall while still being able to have a great workout.

Joy in exercise

Ergatta is the thing that has finally instilled a sense of joy in exercise that has been missing for years. I have introduced friends to rowing on my Ergatta inspired them as well.

Fun Workouts

Workouts are fun and are at the right level for me.

Quality Machine & Software

This is a really great, quality machine. It's smooth and your movement feels natural. The programs are engaging and help you focus more on what you're doing and accomplishing and less on the time, which is awesome. The program options are also great as you can choose the type of workout your in the mood for and length of workout you have time for that day.

Achieving goals

It’s a gamified workout with someone yelling at me or just watching a distance or clock tick away. Mini goals and focusing the mind to achieve goals is perfect combination

Great experience!

It's been a great experience. Hardware is good, software interface is great, and the community is motivating
